We are looking for enthusiastic educators of all levels of experience to join the QAMT executive

/0 Comments/in , , , /by
The Queensland Association of Mathematics Teachers (QAMT) is a not-for-profit Professional association that supports all teachers of Mathematics, pre-service, primary, secondary and tertiary and across all sectors in Queensland.
Excitedly, the QAMT is seeking enthusiastic educators to join the State level executive.
Executive members convene once a month (online) to discuss, and vote on matters relating to mathematics education in Queensland as well as plan for Mathematics Professional Learning events, and student problem-solving events. Executive members have opportunities to lead sub-committees in areas of interest and attend events as convenors, supervisors and supporters.
Currently, there is an opportunity for 2 new executive members, with support available through mentoring if requested. All executive members must be individual QAMT members.
Alternatively, you may be interested in two further options:
    1. As a member of a subcommittee with a specific event or purpose (meet as required). These sub-committees include: Publications, State Conference, Professional Development (primary and secondary), Student Activities, Advocacy and Marketing; and
    2. Ex-officio executive member – may attend meetings and join in discussion (does not need to attend all meetings), but does not have a vote. This is a great way to get to know what being on the executive is all about.

If you are interested, or would like to learn more contact us at [email protected]  nominations for the 2024 executive need to be received by COB 21st November. You can nominate to a subcommittee at anytime.

If you are in a regional area and interested in a role in one of our regional executive, please contact the President of your region below:

Flash back to the 1920’s

Above is the first report from the Queensland Mathematical Society former QAMT from 1922

Do you own a piece of Mathematical History?

It could be a slide rule, an early generation calculator, a photo of a classroom from year’s past or an historic journal etc.
This year is QAMT’s 100 year anniversary and we are looking to collate memorabilia (both physical and digital) of the last 100 years of Mathematics Education. This history will be shared on our website and on display at the State conference.

Please contact Michael Bulmer ([email protected]) about sharing your piece of history.
We have been looking through the State Library Archives and found that their set of QAMT journals only go back to the 1990s. So, we are also looking for any member that has earlier journals that we can scan to complete the collection.
